3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: to stop sending your kids to college. You should get

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: married as young as possible and have as many kids

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: as possible. Go start at turning point. You would say

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: college chapter. Go start aturning point, yould say high school chapter.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: up and become an activist. I gave my life to

Speaker 1: made in my life, and I encourage you to do

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: the same. Here I am Lord, Use me. Buckle up, everybody,

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, when I first started this, I was eighteen,

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: no idea what I was doing, no connections, no money,

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: but unlimited energy enthusiasm, and I actually thought this was possible,

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: which was kind of crazy you think about it. But

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I was in Europe a couple months ago.

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I was trying to explain what Turning Point US say

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: is and what we do and how we operate to

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: a group of Europeans. Do not recommend that, okay. I

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: was trying to say, you know, we talk about freedom,

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: and we talk about American exceptionalism, we talk about the Constitution,

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: and these Italians very snobbishly, you know, exactly right now,

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: where's Alana by the way, where's a Lona the Alana heir?

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Of course not I could bash the Italian's NonStop, a

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of nostrological You think she's Italian, her parents had

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: like invented the country. Anyway, So I'm trying to explain

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: to them all this and they say, well, wait, so

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: people voluntarily I was just bashing Italy, that's okay. So

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, that's okay. People voluntarily give money to

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA. Like what do they get out of

41
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: it like equity? Are they like shareholders? Like? No, no, No,

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: We're a nonprofit, We're a charity and we have thirty

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: thousand donors all across the country, a growing budget. You know,

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: people that believe in US. People will give money without

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: getting something in return, just to advanced ideas and all this.

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: They say, yeah, but they get nothing in return. It's

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: not a business investment. They don't understand philanthropy in Europe.

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: They don't understand individuals helping individuals. They couldn't wrap their

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: head around the idea that an eighteen or nineteen year

50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: old would not go as they call it, university is

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: what they call it over there, that wouldn't go to

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: university would start something to actually try to save the

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: country and it would be successful. And so everything that

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: I believe and I'm in just the speech I'm gonna

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: give today is an unusual one, but it's one that

56
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: all of you will enjoy. Why I believe what I believe,

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and why I started this, and the foundational principles at

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the very level, a very foundational level. And then we'll

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: open up for questions. What I believe that America is

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: the greatest country ever to exist, period, bar none is

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: the greatest country ever to exist, right, you're looking at

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: a living example of that. If I was an enthusiastic

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: eighteen year old from France that really thought that France

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: need to be turned around, which it does, by the way,

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: it's a total disaster. Or if I was a really

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: enthusiastic brit but with that place at a mess, or

67
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: what unbelievable. I'm glad we did the first Brexit way

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: back when. I'm glad we did we defected from that madness.

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: But if I really believed in that, I couldn't have

70
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: done this. I would have been looked by European snobbish elites.

71
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Go to college, just go do that, this is a

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: waste of time. Or we don't give our money to

73
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: anything unless it's a business investment. By the way, the

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: amazing Brown family, I love them, unbelievably great from Colorado

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: State University. Your sister did an amazing work. Anyway, does

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: amazing work. This wouldn't have been possible anywhere else, and

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: so only in America when an eighteen year old with

78
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: no idea what he was doing, literally no idea, be

79
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: able to walk the halls the Republican National Convention. Give

80
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: out business cards to every human being that you could

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: possibly see that I made on a little topographical printer, say,

82
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: we are losing our country. Young people are the answer.

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: We need to do more in college campuses and bit

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: by bit and piece by piece, people said, oh yeah,

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: I might believe in you a little bit. I'll pitching

86
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. So the first year you raised twenty

87
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, which at the time was unbelievable amount of money. Right,

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: And we didn't have an office, we didn't have a staff.

89
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: It was just me just traveling the country doing this

90
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: pure grit peer energy. And I was driven by core

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: ideas and core principles that we are we should be thankful,

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: not angry to live in this country. Would you agree

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: we should be thankful. We should be kising the ground

94
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: and saying we are the luckiest human beings ever to exist,

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: that we are able to live in this country at

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: this time with this president. We should be so thankful. Right,

97
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: were allowed to say that here? I think we're allowed

98
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: to say that, And yet I see that half our

99
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: country seems upset, they seem angry that they're born in

100
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: this country.

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: If you think wireless companies are all the same, you

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880

125
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: And So I started this, and I'm a living embodiment

126
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: of the very ideas that I express. So I talk

127
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: about a lot of stuff. For those of you that

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: follow me on Twitter, you know that there's a lot

129
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: of opinions out there that I but why do I

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: believe what I believe? And this is something I want

131
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: all of you to bring back to your campuses because

132
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: the what is in consequential. The how is inconsequential. It's important,

133
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: but it's not going to get you to that fundamental level.

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: If you can answer the why, then you can answer

135
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: every single question. Then why is like a shovel because

136
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: you can keep on asking, you keep on digging deeper,

137
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: and you can keep on digging deeper. So someone say, Charlie,

138
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: do you believe in tax cuts? I'll say yes, right,

139
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: I believe in that. So someone said the next question

140
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: is what? What? Okay? What? Fine? Well, I believe that

141
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: people should be free from government. I believe that you

142
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: should be able to keep the money that you earn.

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: That your time, your treasure, your own property is yours,

144
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: not someone else's. What's the next question you should ask someone? Why?

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Why do you believe that? Okay? Why? I believe that individuals,

146
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: the individual is much more important than the collective. Correct, right.

147
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: The most important thing is the protection of your consciousness,

148
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: of your choices, of your creativity, of whether it be

149
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: good choices or bad choices. You should be able to

150
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: benefit from making good choices, but you might have to

151
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: suffer if you make bad ones. What's the next question

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: you should ask why? Now we're getting really deep. Right now,

153
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: we're getting to philosophy. Forget politics. What do we start

154
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: with taxes? We're talking about what human nature. I believe

155
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: that human beings are broken by nature, that we are

156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: not We're not good. In fact, we're really, really, really bad.

157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: So I believe that we have to teach goodness to

158
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: our children. See someone, let's make an objective argument to this.

159
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Some people will say, well, the Marxists, for example, the

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: Marxists will always say we are good people in a

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: broken system. How have you heard this before? But this

162
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: is the postmodernist stuff. Yeah, of course, my buddy from

163
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Portland here, he might as well live in Caracas, Venezuela, Portland,

164
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: organ where the disaster that city is. But we're going

165
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: to come and speak out there once we go do that.

166
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: So the Marxists will say, we are good, but we

167
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: live in a broken culture, in a broken system, rigged

168
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: for what, rigged for the rich, the powerful, in the elite,

169
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: against us, which bring out the worst parts of human nature.

170
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: We as individualists, we that believe in rational and reason

171
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: and history, will say, well, no human beings are broken

172
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: by nature. We should not try to be perfected at all.

173
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: That's a horrific idea. Utopianism is evil. The idea of

174
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: utopianism is impossible, and it is evil. More people have

175
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: died on the pursuit of utopianism than any other idea

176
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: in the history of humanity, whether it be Mao's China

177
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: or Polepot's Vietnam, or Stalin's Russia, or Mugabe Zimbabwe or

178
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: Castro's Cuba or the Kim jan Uns of North Korea.

179
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: More people die in the pursuit of utopianism than any

180
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: other idea. Now, why is that? Because people are broken

181
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: by nature? And you say, Charlie, why or how do

182
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: you can you possibly know that? So this is where

183
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: it gets in the chart. Why Charlie believes what Charlie believes? Right?

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: Why do you believe something very simple and it's three words.

185
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: You might believe, he might not. God is real. I

186
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: believe that I believe there is a God, and I

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: think we shouldn't be afraid to say it. If you

188
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: believe that, great. If you're not sure, that's okay. If

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: you don't believe that, that's okay too. But why do

190
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: I believe what I believe? Well? I believe in the

191
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: idea of original sin, Okay. I believed in the Judeo

192
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Christian construct that God created a perfect person that fell

193
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: from nature, that committed a piece of sin. We all

194
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: know the original story of Adam and Eve, and then

195
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: sin was entered in the world. God created a perfect

196
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: world that was broken by sin, and ever since we

197
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: have three words to describe life life as suffering.

198
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you

199
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: about my friends over at Why REFI. You've probably been

200
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: hearing me talk about Why REFI for some time now.

201
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: We are all in with these guys. If you or

202
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt,

Speaker 2: take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're

Speaker 2: behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. You

205
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why refy

206

Speaker 2: to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can save

00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.

209
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: We go to campuses all over America and we see

210
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: student after student who's drowning in private state and loan debt.

211
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: Many of them don't even know how much they owe.

212
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: Why ref I can help. Just go to wy refi

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,200

216
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: friend Andrews sent you.

217
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: And the greatest book ever to exist, which I believe

218
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: is the Bible, right, and the Bible has a lot

219
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: of the answers for this, if not all the answers,

220
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: all the answers to every single problem we could ever face,

221
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: sixty books. Well, if you're a Catholic, it's more than that,

222
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: but sixty books. If I can get how many Catholics

223
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: thought you? If I love the Catholics. By the way,

224
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: love the Catholics. Kind of a conversation about theology. If

225
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: you guys read, I'm kidding, this guy got lots of

226
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Catholic jokes, by the way, got lots of Catholic jokes.

227
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: Where my evangelicals at. We got plenty of evangelicals here, right,

228
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: love love the evangelicals. I'm kidding. We got all sort

229
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: We're very acu We're very acumenical. We're very very acumenical.

230
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: By the way, Where Sophia. We love our Jewish brothers

231
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: and sisters around here, by the way, we love Sophia.

232
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Where's Sophia. She's somewhere. She's yeah, well it is Shabbish, right,

233
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: so it's okay. The Bible's the greatest book ever to exist.

234
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Sixty books, over thirty authors, five thousand years of history,

235
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: answers to every single problem that you could ever possibly

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: encounter with the most important individual ever to exist, whether

237
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: you agree with them, disagree with them, think he was

238
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: divine or not divine, he was the most important person

239
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: ever to exist. We used to have our calendar based

240
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: around him. Now they're changing that too, But he was

241
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: the most influential person ever to exist. No book has

242
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: been copied, replicated, translated, or read as much as the Bible.

243
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: But no book has been banned or burned or banished

244
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: as much as the Bible. It is the most important

245
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: book ever to exist, the most influential book. Even if

246
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: you think it is heresy and it is old wives tales,

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: it's inarguable. Yet it's the one book we don't teach

248
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: in our schools, which I find to be very troubled.

249
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: We'll get back to that in a second. So, Charlie,

250
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: why do you believe what you believe? Well, I believe

251
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: quite simply that God created the heavens in the universe

252
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: and everything that we exist in and he created man.

253
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: Now why did he create man? No, that's a whole

254
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: different conversation. I'm not going to get into that, but

255
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: I will say this that if you look at if

256
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you want to describe the Bible in six words, anyone

257
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: wantn't you try to do that and want to try

258
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: to describe the Bible and six words you do that,

259
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you a prize. Really tough, right, if I

260
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: had to do it is life is suffering, redemption is possible?

261
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: Six words? Not bad? Right, That's the story. Of the

262
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Bible in six words. Now, it's more than just the

263
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: story of the Bible. It's the story of Western civilization.

264
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: See Western civilization. What we live in today is based

265
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: on the Judeo Christian construct that things suck. We get that.

266
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: The problem is the communists will never admit that. They'll

267
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: say things suck now, but we're going to create utopia.

268
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Things will get better. We'll take money from the rich,

269
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: we'll create something a lot better. But pup, up, upbout

270
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: all this down sense, right, and people believe in it.

271
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Free healthcare, free medicare free, this free schooling. Right. They're

272
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: always trying to paint that there's something in the distance

273
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: that's always going to be better. But you know what

274
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: we as conservatives need to do. We need to tell

275
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: brutally hard truths, not well crafted lies. We need to say,

276
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: you know what, You're gonna suffer. You're probably gonna get sick,

277
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose loved ones, you're gonna lose a job,

278
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a lot of a lot of tough times. Okay,

279
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: we all get that. So what can first and foremost,

280
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: what's the most important next question after that? Not what revolution?

281
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: I can start, not what government I can overthrow. What's

282
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the most important question after that, what you can do

283
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: about it? Right? What can the individual do? As my

284
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: buddy Jordan Peterson says, we love Jordan Peterson, right, we

285
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: loved him. He's so right. We love Jordan. Sit up straight,

286
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: tell the truth, work harder, be better today than you

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: were yesterday, and find a way to be better tomorrow

288
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: than you were today. That's the story of Western civilization

289
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: because for thousands and thousands and thousands of years people

290
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: lived as serfs. You got up every single day, you

291
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: worked in the field. If you were lucky, you had

292
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: a wife, you had a kid. The kid had half

293
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: a chance of living because infant mortality was so high.

294
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: You lived in suffering, You went to church. That was it,

295
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: and then you die when you're thirty five. That's human

296
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: history between essentially one hundred BC to seventeen hundred Literally

297
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: that was it is some variations, lots of wars, lots

298
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: of conflict.

299
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: Angel Studios has a new feature film that is a

300
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: must see and I really really mean it. This film

301
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: tells the untold story of George Washington before he was

302
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: a general or a president. At just twenty years Old

303
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: Washington faced crushing failures, near death experiences, and pivotal moments

304
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: that forge the courage, the character, and the leadership that

305
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: would one day shape the United States. Angel Studios and

306
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,600

Speaker 2: America for our nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

339
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Then what happened? What changed? What changed? Well, what changed

340
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: is a lot of different things. Is there was a

341
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: group of bandits and rebels that started to get a

342
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: little restless.

343
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: Right.

344
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: We all know this story, but to tell it in

345
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: this frame is not told in our schools. And these

346
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: guys read the great works and their names were Thomas

347
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: Payne and Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin and George Washington,

348
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: the great heroes that created the greatest civilization ever to exist.

349
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: And they decided to do the impossible and the improbable

350
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: and start a revolution against the greatest military power to

351
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: exist of its time. And they were successful, and they

352
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: overthrew the government, and they were the first political victors

353
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: in world history. Think about this, the first political victors

354
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: in world history that voluntarily gave up their political power.

355
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: They could have created the Washingtonian, JEFFERSONI and Hamiltonian ruling class.

356
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: But they gave up their political power back to the people.

357
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: They said, I don't want to be the ruler, I

358
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: don't want to be king. I'm going to give it

359
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: back to the people. Now. Is the Constitution a perfect

360
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: political document? No, nothing's perfect except the divinity of God.

361
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: But it is the best political document ever written by far,

362
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: by far. Now it is the best for one very

363
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: simple reason, because they acknowledged exactly what I believe human

364
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: beings are broken by nature, that human beings are very predictable.

365
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: The rise and fall of the Roman, the Greek, the Chinese,

366
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: and the British Empire are all very similar, even though

367
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: they came in totally different times in totally different parts

368
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: of the world. And what was similar about them that

369
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: when too much power gets concentrated too quickly, people die,

370
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: people suffer, people's lives don't get better. So they said, boy,

371
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: that was a disaster. They started to study Aristotle, which

372
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: talked about brutal truth and not Plato's utopianism. Big difference, right,

373
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: So Plato talked all about we could talk communism, we

374
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: do all, let's forget about that, talk about the individual,

375
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: all about the individual, the individual and the individual individual.

376
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Constitution was we'll get back to the constitution a second.

377
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: But how does this all connect to why I believe

378
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: what we believe? Well, this is where the left gets

379
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: it so horribly, horribly wrong. And I want you to

380
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: raise your hand if you've heard this that somehow the

381
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: Bible or the Life of Jesus is a defense of

382
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: Marxism and communism, like Jesus is the communist. Who's heard

383
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: this before? Right. You've all heard this, well, I love

384
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: it because it's a bunch of atheists telling me this

385
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: first and foremost right. So, first of all, if there's

386
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: any atheists here, God bless you. Good, God bless you,

387
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: God bless you. I'll pray for you. They don't find

388
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: that fun. I'm kidding up, kidding up to me. Without God,

389
00:19:54,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: there would be no atheists. I got a couple more,

390
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: but I'll save him for later. What I what, I

391
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: always what? I always am challenged by that. So, first

392
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: of all, a lot of atheists always try to use

393
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: the life of Jesus Christ as a defense of neomarxism.

394
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: So why do I believe what I believe? Well, I

395
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: believe that the Gospel and four words, okay, gospel and forwards,

396
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: what is the gospel? If you ever want to say,

397
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: if you if you're not a believer, that's fine, I'm

398
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what the Gospel is. And four words

399
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: through words two words won't work. Forwards, Jesus took my place. Forwards, okay,

400
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: three words him for me, two words substitutionary, atonement, one

401
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: word grace. That's it. That's the Gospel. Four three two

402
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: one words. You don't have to believe that. That's fine.

403
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to evangelize. I'm just telling you what

404
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: I believe and why I believe. This is not this

405
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: is not reflect the views a turning point. You say,

406
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: you hear that, Tyler, you get that. That's all good, Okay,

407
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: But why did I start this? Why why do I

408
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: fight as hard as I fight? And why why do

409
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I do this? Okay? So those are the those are

410
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: the Gospel. So the story of the Gospel and the

411
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: story of the Bible is life is so offering redemption

412
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: as possible. So we have four accounts Matthew, Mark, Luke,

413
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: and John by four different authors from four different perspectives,

414
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: four different backgrounds, written in two different languages, that account

415
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: the depiction of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Okay,

416
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: we got it. Whether or not you believe in it

417
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: or you don't believe in it, it's miraculous. It's amazing

418
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: that those texts actually existed, that the parallels, non contradictions,

419
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: all those sorts of things happen. There's no other historical

420
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: figure with that sort of that sort of authenticity, that

421
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: sort of verification that long, that stood the test of time.

422
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: With the archaeological backing and that evidence. That's pretty amazing.

423
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty miraculous.

424
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you

425
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: about my friends over at why Refy. You've probably been

426
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: hearing me talk about why Refi for some time now.

427
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: We are all in with these guys. If you or

428
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt,

429
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're

430
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 2: behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. You

431
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why Refy

432
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 2: will provide you a custom payment based on your your

433

Speaker 2: save you thousands of dollars and you can get your

435
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: life back. We go to campuses all over America and

436
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: we see student after student who's drowning in private student

437
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: loan debt. Many of them don't even know how much

438
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: they owe. Y Refi can help.

439
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Just go to.

00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: Wyrefi dot com. That's the letter why then refi dot com.

441
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: And remember y Refi doesn't care what your credit score is.

442
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: Just go to wyrefi dot com and tell them your

443
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: friend Andrews sent you.

444
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, but let's go back to the Marxism communists and

445
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: let's tile this together. They say, well, Jesus talked about

446
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: helping other people. Jesus talked about all these things that

447
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: are very similar to Marxism. However, what was what are

448
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: they missing? Everything that Jesus Christ talked about was about

449
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: the individual. Everything. He never addressed people in the collective. Ever,

450
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: he never talked about banning your resources together, or pooling

451
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff as a collective, or overthrowing a

452
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: governments that you could have a better running community. Said no, no,

453
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: you go give away your money, right, the first center

454
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: amongst you throw the first stone. It's not well, we

455
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: can the ends justify the means. Therefore, oh, he never

456
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: said any that stuff. It was always about the individual.

457
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: It was about voluntary cooperation, right. It was always about

458
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: treat others the way you want to be treated. Essentially

459
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: is the golden rule? Right? Well, what system requires you

460
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: to treat others the way you want to be treated?

461
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: What system? The exactly? Capitalism exactly right? What's up man?

462
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: How it is you? No? I didn't realize you there?

463
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: And capitalism exactly right? Because if you if you treat

464
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: a customer horribly, They're not going to return. Right. If

465
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: you have a product or service that you lie or

466
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: you cheat your steel, you're not treating that customer the

467
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: way you would want to be treated. So a free

468
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: market requires requires you to act in a virtuous way,

469
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: which is against human nature. We'll get to that in

470
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: a second. Okay, So why do I believe what I believe? Well,

471
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm a strict constitutional us and a Conservatorian, if you

472
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: want to boil it down to that, I believe I'm

473
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: very skeptical of governmental power. I believe in natural rights,

474
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: that our rights come from God, not from government. That

475
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: government exists to protect our rights, not to give them

476
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: the way, that we should have rules for government first

477
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: and foremost, and then rules for the citizen ry. That

478
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: too much, when power is concentrated and collected way too quickly,

479
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: that suffering ensues. So what does all this tie together?

480
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: And why do I do what I do? And why

481
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: do I believe what I believe? Well, I believe God

482
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: is real. We went through that. I believe Jesus Christ

483
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: is the savior of the world. We went through that

484
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: the Bible is the greatest book ever to be written.

485
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: But then how does this all tie in together with

486
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: America and who we are and what we're doing well?

487
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: So I believe that we are literally at a turning

488
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: point in our country. Forget politics, right, So I'm not

489
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: here to talk about politics. If you love Trump, great,

490
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: If you don't like Trump, that's fine. You know, in

491
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: my opinion, all that we can get into anyone asked

492
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: questions about it, low tax is terrific, embassy moved to Jerusalem.

493
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: That's great. It's a lot bigger than that. What we're fighting.

494
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: I hope you'll understand that fighting a war, and I'll

495
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: leave the spiritual side to a second. We're fighting a

496
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: culture war. Where are we going to embrace neo Marxist

497
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: postmodernism that is all about victim and ideology, a pressor

498
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: versus oppressed. That's going to create a very very dangerous

499
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: society for all of us to live in. Anyone that

500
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: has aspirational goals or dreams, or wants to better yourself

501
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: for the individual, Or are we going to embrace an

502
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: idea that the individual does matter, that dialogue and discourse,

503
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: discourse and freedom of speech that is paramount first and

504
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: foremost for a country and a civilization and I see

505
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of what's happening. I see the forces of evil

506
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: starting to win. You see it on college campuses. How

507
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: many outwards socialist and Marxist you know, probably your entire

508
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: professor list is all Marxist socialists. Because these ideas are growing,

509
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: and these ideas are growing, and these ideas are growing,

510
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: and it's up to dedicated patriots like this, everyone in

511
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: this room, to fight back against that, and to fight

512
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: back in a variety of different ways. But if you

513
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: cannot answer the why, you're nothing more than just engaging

514
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: the same sort of popcorn politics to the people that

515
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: you're fighting as. Your why might be very simple. Why

516
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: might be while I'm inspired by the teachings of mind

517
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: Rand and I believe so firmly individual that I only

518
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: believe what I believe and that I exist. If that's

519
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: your why, that's great. I told you my why, didn't I.

520
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: You have to be able to articulate, because every activist will,

521
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: every leftist activist cannot answer the why. They can't. There's

522
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: hypocrisy within them, there's anger, there's you ever see how

523
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 1: angry leftists are, by the way, I mean, there's a

524
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: reason for that, though, there's a why are leftists so angry?

525
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Why are they? Well? They're miserable because they would rather

526
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: tell other people how to live their life than improve

527
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: their own.

Speaker 2: Alliance. Defending freedom knows that freedom belongs to those who

529
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: fight for it. Americans have carried that legacy for two

530
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years, and now we must do so again.

531
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: Censorship is rising, threatening your free speech in every sphere,

532
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: from classrooms to counselors' offices and even online. Unboard babies

533
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: are dying as abortion drugs continue flooding states nationwide. Parents

534
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: are being cut out of kids' critical decisions for their lives.

536

537
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: dollars in fines just for sharing his Catholic faith. Rosalie Markazich,

538
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: a young woman whose former boyfriend co Worcester to take

539
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: mail order abortion drugs, killing her unborn baby. And Dan

540
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: and Jennifer Mead, parents whose thirteen year old daughter was

551
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: It's very easy to be externally upset. Try to go

552
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: twenty four hours without complaining. It's very hard. Try to

553
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: do that, seriously, try it. I can't do it right.

554
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: Whether it be an airplane along with TSA, which you

555
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: put me in touch with TSA, the complaints come very quickly.

556
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: They shall be fired, every single one of them. Try

557
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: to go twenty four hours without complaining. It's very very

558
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: tough to try to live with a aura of gratitude

559
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: and gracious. It's very very difficult. It's much easier to

560
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: complain and to be resentful, and to be angry, and

561
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: to be externally harsh towards the world. It's the rich

562
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: people's fault. It's the white people's fault, it's the straight

563
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: people's fault, it's the christian's fault, it's the university's fault. No, well,

564
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: maybe all that could be right. There could be arguments,

565
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: But what are you doing to improve your own life?

566
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: If you've done everything that you possibly can do. Are

567
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: you waking up earlier? Are you not going out to drink?

568
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Are you exercising? Are you making better choices? Are you

569
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: doing all those things and you're improving yourself to the

570
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: top of the possible pinnacle of your of the individual,

571
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: then you might be able to start complaining. I very

572
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: much doubt that the left of social justice warriors, based

573
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: on just looking at them, are they making any of

574
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: those decisions? Okay, not that I'm judging, but I'm just

575
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: observing difference, kidding. So you got to be able to

576
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: answer the why. I'm not going to tell you what

577
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: your why is. You know my why. So once you

578
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: have your why, then you can have agreements, right, you

579
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: can have Also, it's so cool about conservatives and libertarians.

580
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Any libertarians here, hope we have libertarians? Any conservatives here,

581
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: hope we have conservative tredcial Republicans, Trump supporters that thought.

582
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: That's great. We can have disagreement all that, and we should.

583
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: We should. We love disagreement. That's what we're all about.

584
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: We're not a mob. We shouldn't be. We're not the left.

585
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: We should be able to disagree and to have dialogue

586
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: or discourse. But we all love America. If you don't

587
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: love America, that's there's other organizations out there, Turning Point,

588
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Turning Point, USSR or something like that. Mutual respect on

589
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: that front. But that's if we all agree on the

590
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: big stuff that the other disagreements will sort itself out.

591
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: And but I guarantee you there's different whys all across

592
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the room. I guarantee it. Some of it might be well,

593
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: I just feel as if I'm losing my country and

594
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: my family just came here, my family came here as immigrants,

595
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: and I want to save it. Great answer, terrific, dive deeper,

596
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: get to the why, gets to the why, get to

597
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: the why, get the why. And that's hard because sometimes

598
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: you might not under you might not know, you might

599
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: not know, you might get down to the point where, well,

600
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I believe the individual is really important. Why I don't

601
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: know because I want to be able to do what

602
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: I want to do without someone telling me, well, why,

603
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: what's the end result? And if if you can't answer that,

604
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: then one or two things will happen. You'll you'll you're

605
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: much more likely to have kind of ambiguity in your

606
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: political statements, which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that inherently.

607
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: Or number two, you'll get quickly, you'll get quickly exposed

608
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: by a leftist for being exactly what they are. But

609
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: I guarantee you there's a lot of good answers as

610
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: to your why here, I guarantee it. And by the way,

611
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: once you're able to answer that question, you will fight harder,

612
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: and you'll be more convicted and more foundational in your

613
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: activism than ever before, because then you know exactly why

614
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: you are doing what you are doing, not what you

615
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: are doing. And that's the most important question, isn't it?

616
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: Because the answer to why is why. A lot of

617
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: people just wander through life without ever being able to

618
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: do that. And there is no right or wrong answer.

619
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not telling you my answer is

620
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: correct what I walked you through. It's the right answer

621
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: for me. Someone else might have a different answer, and

622
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: that's perfectly okay. And and because every individual is different.

623
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: Every every individual has different backgrounds or leanings or understandings

624
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: or passions. But being able to articulate that to it

625
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: to a level that is a lot deeper than saying

626
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: I want low taxes because it's gonna spur economic growth,

627
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: or I want low low regulation because it's going to

628
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: make the economy better. Or I think we should have

629
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: a big foreign policy. You know, I should do it

630
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: big military because there's forces of evil. Those are talking points, folks,

631
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: get deeper than that, get into the philosophy of all that.

632
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: So as you can see, we're growing very quickly as

633
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: an organization. And I love these couple of days. These

634
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: are always my favorite couple days of the year because you

635
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: are on the front lines, you really are, and we

636
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: are an organization committed to ideas and to principles, not

637
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: the political parties or politicians. I have my own opinions,

638
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: that's that's fine. But we have people within the organization

639
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: that love the present support and that don't love that

640
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: that that's all just that, that's all temporary, that's all momentary.

641
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: We are in a generational battle right now that the

642
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: stakes could not be higher, and the experiment and the

643
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: gift that our founding fathers gave to us could be

644
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: easily lost if we don't make the proper choices of

645
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: the right course corrections.

646
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,440
